Sometimes, I wonder what to be naggy means.
I can't find it in the dictionary. But I think it's lao1 dao1. Whatever.
Hey, and sometimes, I think
I am very very very very super duper uberly naggy.
Boy, was I ever more wrong.
My grandmother sat herself in a chair, and randomly began to nag. From dinner, she could talk till how lucky we were. Damn, I didn't see the time, but it felt like half an hour. Eh, it wasn't even one hour and I thought I was suffering already.
I mean, sure, it's
for our own good. Yeah, you know, the usual punch line. But then again, sometimes it's really difficult to take. Sure we do have to be lectured sometimes for our insolent behaviour. Sure we do have to be told off sometimes to be reminded of our stand or whatever it is we need to be reminded for. Sure we do deserve a slap sometimes to let us reflect or bring us back to reality.
But nagging can sometimes be torturous. And I don't know why they nag. (Oh sure, maybe I do sometimes, too.) And some can, for hours on an end. It seems that as you get older, you actually nag more. I don't know why. It's like, they always say grandmothers were naggy. And moms, too. Have you ever heard of a child that's naggy? Eh, for me? No.
So, how come from that child, who becomes a parent, can get naggy? And from a parent, to a grandparent, and become even naggier?
Someone please enlighten me.
Maybe it's because of life experience. Gahh.
~~~
My grandmother seemed like she was pissed off. I don't know why, and I don't know what the whole thing was about anyway. Maybe she got sick and tired and frustrated of staying here.
I'm not too sure what happened, but I think it's something like, we've been eating lots of noodles? Like cup noodles. And er, my maid still kept giving us. I think my grandmother kinda got worked up because cup noodles have lots of MSG.
I really don't know.
And then my maid came in, and I seriously heard myself (Okay, I know I don't hear accurately sometimes. But I think I did hear it this time.), that my grandmother scolded my maid
bodoh. Eh, and she sounded pissed. I think she even said no brains or something.
I suddenly thought of news articles whereby the maids kill the members of the family because they're angry and frustrated with them. Then I suddenly got scared and worried for my grandmother.
Well my maid left the room anyway. So the only people left in the room were basically my two brothers and I. I don't think my grandmother had prepared herself to leave the room. In fact, we were her next
victims focus of her
nagging talk.
Yes, so she began to talk and talk and talk. My older brother was the only one answering her. Not to say I didn't bother, because I was sort of listening. Just that, well, where it comes to nagging, I don't think I can beat my grandmother. So er, I didn't want to try answering back anyway.
She began asking why we couldn't have asked for porridge. Well obviously because we didn't think of eating porridge. I mean why the hell would we think of porridge out of nowhere? Cup noodles are nice too what. So we just eat it, duh. So my brother said it was because we didn't think of it. And then she began saying stuff like, why never think. No brain arh. -_-
My brother of course, answered some stuff and everything.. Then she went on saying what, why couldn't we ask, mute meh? And you know, the like.
I mean, not to put it crudely or what, but I remembered hearing stuff like that. Of course, the entire conversation was in Chinese, because my grandmother doesn't speak English.
Oh, and somehow, from that topic, the last thing I knew, she was starting to speak of how lucky we were because we get to eat and some people don't even get 3 meals per day and. Yes, whatever it is that they always say. It's so cliche but it's supposed to make a hell lotta sense to us. So usually after they nag, I suppose we're supposed to absorb all that they say and apply it, for if we don't, we'll probably get nagged at again.
Well, I don't know.
I know my grandmother is just concerned. But sometimes it gets to the extent that I get a little more frustrated than when I'm listening to her nag. Usually, nowadays, she'd ask me to come home early if I go out.
The other time I went to Tampines, note,
Tampines. (I think I blogged about it before, but heck.) I had dinner there. And I obviously could not fly back right after that. She got my brother to call me, my maid to SMS me.
I think this means no more dinner out at far places.
But eh, whatever lar. I'll still do it because I'm a disobedient idiotic grandchild.

Today's tuition was just another day of tuition. Gaybra's not been real silly. At least, not silly enough for me to remember. I think she's on her guard, so I wouldn't write The Chronicles of Gaybra II.
Anyway, during English I was called out by Ms Chua 'cause she wanted to speak to me.
I was wondering what was there for her to talk. She said that my younger brother didn't go to class. I got kinda shocked, actually, because I thought he'd have followed my maid here. (She was supposed to bring him here, now that my parents are overseas.) But I wasn't too concerned, actually. Not that I don't give a hoot about him at all, but anyway, I knew he'd probably be at home or something, not kidnapped or whatever. -_-
Oh, and she also said his comprehension fees are due. Gahh.
In the end, I called my maid (also under the urging of Ms Yang). Guess what? My brother
fell. That's why he didn't come to class. Sounds like a stupid excuse right? Even Gaybra thought it was lame.
I got home and my younger brother, who had been facing the computer all the time (so I didn't take notice of him), turned and said something like, "This is why I didn't go to class."
Like, what the fuck. His upper lip was
swollen, and on top was some patch like it had been bleeding or whatever. I wonder how he fell. -_-
I'm
not looking forward to tomorrow. Gahh.
